1975 Datsun 280z 4-speed Project on 2040-cars
Armona, California, United States
|
This is a 1975 Datsun 280Z 4-speed project car. I've been working on getting this car streetable for months and simply don't have time for it anymore. I replaced the fuel pump, filter, injectors, and spark plugs/wires so the engine runs well. I also installed brand new brake and clutch master cylinders, as well as a new clutch slave cylinder and all new brake/clutch hoses and rebuilt the brake calipers and wheel cylinders. Goes down the road real nice.
Taillight panels were repainted. I started replacing interior and weatherstripping but haven't finished. Windshield and rear window were removed, cleaned up, and put back in with new rubber, as well as the quarter windows. The dash was removed, cleaned up, had new gauge bulbs installed, and I cleaned up the blower motor and heater core and had new water and vent hoses installed before putting the dash back in with a brand new full-face dash cap from MSA. Not much else pertaining to interior and rubber have been replaced yet, but the interior has been removed in preparation for the new stuff so there's still some work to be done. Car comes with over $1000 of new interior and rubber weatherstripping. Body is good and straight. There's minor surface rust but nothing big. There are a couple of small dents but no damage beyond that. Paint has held up okay over the years, but if you want to paint it there's minimal bodywork to be done. In addition to what's shown in the pictures I also have great-condition door panels, the original plastic interior pieces, new carpet, new headliner, and new weatherstripping. Car has clear title, is currently on non-op with no fees against it. |

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
